A 12 year old in high school? Yep. (Room 222, 1973)

 Tim (Eric Shea, "The Poseidon Adventure") is a 12 year old prodigy who has made it already to senior season, and is transferred to Walt Whitman High. Pretty heady stuff. But what he experiences makes for a good story from the 4th season of Room 222.


I found it amusing that Tim was actually showing interest in Helen (Judy Strangis), despite the age difference. I think he was speaking for all the teenage boys who were crushing on Judy at the time. By the way, Eric's resume also includes a guest appearance on Batman in a 2-parter that parodied "Shane". Coincidentally, Eric's brother, Christopher, appeared in the TV version of Shane with David Carradine.

Look quick for an appearance by a pre-CHiPs Larry Wilcox.
